Street Food

The intense turn in the last years towards excellent raw materials and the tendency for experimentation has enhanced the street food culture. At squares, steps, benches or even walking, a lunch on the street can be equally satisfying and tasteful as one in a restaurant. The classical choices like the sesame koulouri, the traditional cheese pies, the fast souvlaki, the roasted corn and the warm loukoumades with honey can be found in every corner of the city, satisfying hunger easily and cheaply. The scenery has been enriched with new, foreign dishes like falafel, tortillas, lahmajoun, bagels, Indian pies and burgers which have been incorporated in the local cuisine, and a lot of people love them.
